EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the Strand front design for the new law courts in London, dating back to 1867. The artist, E Wimbridge, skillfully portrays the intricate details of this architectural masterpiece by Sir Thomas Newenham Deane. The image showcases a concept that emerged from a fierce competition among eleven architects vying for the opportunity to design the prestigious Royal Courts of Justice. Ultimately, it was George Edmund Street's winning proposal that brought this vision to life. As we gaze upon this engraving from The Building News, dated June 28th, 1867, we are transported back to Victorian England. The towering structure stands proudly amidst its surroundings on Westminster's bustling streets. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia and emphasizes the timeless beauty of these nineteenth-century buildings. It is a testament to British craftsmanship and ingenuity during this era. With its location on The Strand - a renowned avenue in London - this architectural gem commands attention as it overlooks both city and country. Its exterior exudes authority and elegance while hinting at what lies within: justice served under its roof. This print serves as a window into history; it allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind its creation but also how architecture can shape our understanding of society's values throughout time.
